I recently picked up the Leatherman Skeletool KB for everyday carry, especially when I’m suited up. It’s astonishingly slim and lightweight—just about disappears in your pocket, unlike my Ruike which always felt clunky with dress attire.
Right out of the box, the blade was razor-sharp and the build quality spoke volumes—precision machining, clean skeletonized frame, and a smooth liner lock. Opening it one-handed feels satisfying and intuitive.
The 420HC stainless steel blade is a dependable workhorse—takes an edge well and handles everyday tasks like slicing paper or trimming tags without complaint. And that pocket clip? It doubles as a bottle opener—convenient without adding bulk.
The handle is minimal—fine for quick tasks, but for extended or tougher cutting, your fingers might feel a bit cramped. Still, it’s a trade-off I’m totally cool with given how feather-light it is.
Also, shoutout to LightMen—their service is always top-notch, and the custom engraving on my knife was crisp, clean, and perfectly done. Little details like that really elevate the experience.
Bottom line: If you want a no-nonsense, ultra-light, reliable EDC knife that looks sharp (literally and figuratively) with formals, this KB is a winner.
